Michigan. Six years ago with three State
tickets-kepubllcan Democrat and Green
back running, the Republicans had 5000
plurality over the Democrats and q, 600
majority over Democrats and Greenback-
ers combined. At the election three
weeks ago with the same tickets running
the plurality Of the Republican over the
Democratic ticket was only $500, and the
Republican vote is less than the other two
combined. The change has been gradual
along the six years intervening.

VALUABLE KAOLIN PROPERTY AT
y PUBLIC SALE.-Under decree of
Circuit Court of Augusta, rendered at June
Term, 1886, in the suit of James D. Crump,
Trustee, &c. VS.. Thomas Walton and ais, we
will sell at public auction, in front of the
Court House of Augusta County, on
Saturday, May 2l.t, 1857,
that valuable property in the County of Au-
gusta, near Vesuvius Station of the Shenan-
doah Valley Railroad, sold in 1888 by I. w.
Shelton and others to the defendants, Walton
and Sweeney. and by them to The Virginia
China Clay and Fire Brick Company. This
sale embraces the entire deposite of Kaolin
upon the two tracts of 900 acres and 10 acres
known as the McGuffin land on the waters of
the South River, of the James, and on and near
the South Mountain, with the right of entry
for mining and removing the same, together
with the fee simple of five acres upon the rail-
road for the erection of buildings and works.
The quality, vast quantity, uniformity, and
accessibility of this deposite render it one of
I the most valuable Kaolin beds in this country.
| Its trend renders it easy to move the clay by
| gravity tram roads. Pure water and abundant
| timber is at hand. The clay is remarkably
| homogeneous and pure, being porcelainsclay
| unusually free from mica and other mineral
admixtures. and specially adapted to the ma
nufacture of high grades of pottery. The cri-
teal tests to which fire bricks made of it have
been subjected, and their resistance of heat,
gases. and friction alongside of the best
standard brick, warrant the belief that no
better article can be produced in America.
| TERMS Cash to pay costs of suit and ex-
| penses of SALE and bonds with security for
the residue in equal instalments at 6, -, and
Is months, bearing interest from day of sale,
| and title retained until paid
